Great day of firing on South Padre Island. Beautiful day, nice group and got 11 batches fired.
-
Packed up and ready to go to South Padre Island for a day of Raku, Obvara, and saggar firings.

the cold front has reached us at the Southern tip of Texas. I have a raku firing workshop on Wed. I hope it isn't too blustery!
-
Preparing for a workshop next Wed. and throwing some new texture pieces. Hope to obvert fire in 4 days.

going to Montana or a week.

Archie Bray? :3 Always wanted to go there...
-
I did a residency at the Bray but I use to take my classes these to see the art. I bought my clay from there for the University. This trip is fun. 23 Annual Wild Women's Weekend at Chico Hot Springs. My girlfriends and I do this every year. I miss them since I moved to Texas.

Had a nice pre-workshop meeting on South Padre Island. People decided what types of firings we'll do in two raku kilns: raku, horse hair and feathers, obvara and saggars. I gave them sme terra sig to prepare the pieces after some demonstrating.
-
I hope the workshop is going well. It sounds great. Want to participate! (Not only because of the Island...)

Had a week solo as my husband went to a Physics conference at the Aspen Center for Physics. I had a few issues with technical things around the house but all is well now and he is back home.

No. computer virus. Had to go to the geek squad. Even they couldn't get rid of Mackeeper. Had to erase everything and go download a previous backup from our time machine.

Oh that is pure hell.
SOrry about my flippant comment.
Babs

it os ok. My astrophysics geek of a husband uploaded a version of my backuped contents prior to the virus. Then he deleted our backup. Now all backups are clean.

Raku porcelain? How is it called? We can't get raku porcelaine here :-(

That is what I use for saggar firings

This other porcelain will be a test.

faceted,beaten, sodium silicate heated on surface, then thrown from the inside only. Interesting. My physicist husband is intrigued by the surface behavior of the clay.
-
Wow, a lot goes into that surface, but it's worth it.
-
Awesome, you threw those thick. Cant wait to see them fired, you inspire me so i have to get our Raku kiln done.. damn cold weather is killing me...
-
Cleaning the studio after the holidays and working on making a set of tongs for Obvara that won't damage the surface.

Oh geez, Guinea...google is your friend.
-
Marcia, I would be soooo interested in a tong that's not damaging the surface of the objects. Keep me informed if you succeed...
-
taking down my show today. Preparing for a festive Thursday. And planning some experiments in the studio.
-
Getting ready for the holidays at home. First Christmas at home in years and not visiting family. Looking forward to staying put.
